    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    All cylinders was to much honed exactly on the same, like someone used wrong terms. I can't translate exactly where you can see this beside measurement .... this engine become more and more a surpriseparcel. It is nothing what come of use as it is to much... At least the piston is to small and...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    As it is a certified professional company, we have 1 year if the job is completely taken by the professionals, including a test run, and of course if it is used properly. Another reason for give this job to a specialist -> Spare Parts about 3000 Euro .... so I'd rather pass the risk on to the...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Today we received a decision from the specialist. The engine is completely possibel to rebuilt. It is still possible because the substance is good enough. But it can be seen that the repair was not carried out well. We will probably never know what happened. Except for the crankshaft, camshaft...

    Found this on the TMs TM 9-2815-237-34 2 - 1 6 . CYLINDER BLOCK REPAIR (Cont‘d) 2. Installation of cylinder sleeves. CAUTION Do not use cylinder sleeves to repair a cracked engine block. NOTE Cylinders that still show damage or wear after being honed to a maximum oversize of 0.030 in. (0.762...

    That was also my first thought, but in 1989 the truck was still in Army service... so it must be done there. Just three years in Service. I guess less milage and than it make sense to do this. If the block is the same as the 6.5, the oversized dimension shouldn't be an issue. I do not expect...

    As I said in an accident with high levels of personal injury would be controlled but this is unlikely to happen in such a vehicle. Regardless of whether there is damage or not, from a purely legal point of view, I have to have the engine change to the newer 6.5l engine displayed and verified...

    :unsure: Really - i am not so sure of this as Manufactures Oversizes end on this. And there are sockets availaible. What is the advantage of further drilling or using sockets? I am not the engine specialist, they will tell me what to do at least. I do not need more bore or more HP. I just want...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    any piston have also this verification and measurement of the bores said the same it was already clear to me that a repair would take place here at some point. But I found no evidence, except the measurement, until my wife saw this painted sign. In mechanical engineering (my job) it is common...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    There was only one left for removing the crank and camshaft. All bearings were in order but if we have already gone that far, the engine should be thoroughly cleaned and that is just bare And my shopping list is getting longer and longer - because all or nothing is the motto now. I was close...

    Update: Engine is now checked and at least found damage on two Conrod bearing shells on 7/8 conrod. Although we did everything we can to ensure the oil flow and oil film everywhere at the start after a long downtime, this was unfortunately not the case. Fortunately, the damage is limited to...

    :ROFLMAO: they are a special mementos what a small driving mistake can result ... Fortunately, only material damage without further involved.
